QUICKPLAY AND ENGLAND HANDBALL IN PARTNERSHIP

Over the last 2 years QUICKPLAY has worked closely with the England Handball Association (EHA) to promote handball in schools. Junior handball is becoming a preferred sport choice for schools in England and can be played in mixed gender groups. Whereas previously many schools did not have the necessary resources and space for dedicated handball goals, more and more are turning to the QUICKPLAY portable handball goal.

Our association with the EHA began in 2015 when the former Commercial Partnership Manager Louise Jukes contacted us, after seeing our goals in action with the Manchester Handball Club. The EHA which had recently finished its sponsorship arrangement with iGoals, were specifically interested in an affordable, easy to set up portable goal and were immediately keen to promote the QUICKPLAY goals in their outreach programs designed to boost participation in handball across the UK.

The partnership which is now in its 2nd year, has led to further endorsements from Ireland Handball the European governing body the EHF, who have approved QUICKPLAY as its official portable handball goal supplier. The feedback has been similar, with coaches responding positively to the goals thanks to their affordability and easy to set up space saving design.

QUICKPLAY currently offers 2 sizes of its portable handball goal, an official 3x2m version and a slightly smaller junior handball version at 2,4x1,7m. Both goals have a weighted base so require sandbags or pegs and can be packed away in a high quality easy to carry bag. Weighing in at less than 10kg the goals are extremely lightweight and are a fraction of the cost of other goals currently on the market.
